Summary of 2012 GOP Candidate

[loopholbrook]

Mit Romney- One of the biggest flip-floppers in politics right now. He has changed his stance on several issues including, but not limited to: gun control, raising minimum wage, don't ask don't tell, both Bush's and Obama's bailout, and abortion.

Michele Bachmann- This woman is crazy. She makes Sarah Palin seem intelligent. She blamed the democrats for the swine flu. She believes that our legal system encouraging antipatriotism, while promoting sexuality(what?). She thinks without minimum wage our unemployment rate would be 0%. Finally, she claims to have raised twenty three foster children. Now she's out too. Great job!

Herman Cain- Undeniably, Herman Cain is a great business man, but that doesn't necessarily translate to knowledge of our economy. From strictly an economic stand point he is one of the best candidates, which is sad. However, the man knows nothing about the social issues which we are facing. He also has complete ignorance of our foreign relations. Welp, just saw that he dropped out, so nevermind.

Newt Gingrich- The man has thirty eight breaches of ethics. The man flip-flops almost as much as Romney. A few issues which he has flip-flopped on would be medicare, engaging in Libya, and Obama's bailout.

Ron Paul- I will admit I have some bias with this candidate as I haven't many issues in which I disagree with him. I have been a supporter for around 5 years now, but I'll try to be as unbiased as possible. You will see no other Presidential candidate want to follow the constitution as strictly as Ron Paul. Some of his stances are a flat sales tax, legalizing all drugs, pulling all American troops out of every foreign country, leaving abortion up to the state, going back to the gold standard, making marriage a religious issue instead of a legal issue, and leaving payment of social security up to each individual.

Rick Perry- This man has some INSANE ideas, others not so crazy. For one, he wants to build a literal wall around the US-Mexico border. He wants a flat income tax. He would keep the troops in Pakistan and send even more to Israel. In case you forgot or are not aware, Israel is one of our greatest allies.

Jon Huntsman- Out of all of the Republican candidate he seems to one of the most intelligent. It seems that he doesn't make decision based on his morals as almost every other candidate does. He would like to remove the majority of our troops from foreign countries, more specifically leave the Middle East completely. One of his main issues is expanding global trade. He is a strong believer that the more countries that we will trade with, the more money and allies our country will gain. Huntsman also believes that we should end "Too Big To Fail", and shut down Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Rick Santorum- In all honesty, I don't know much about this man. Here are some of his issues which I am aware of. He would like to make abortion illegal in every state. He would like to end social security. He thinks we should stay in the Middle East and not leave until we end Al Qaeda. Like I said, I'm not too familiar with him, but he seems like the average Neo-Conservative.

As a whole, I would not vote for any of these candidate, except Ron Paul, if they were to get the nomination. The main problem is that none of them would really change much, OR they would go back to being exactly like Bush. I am not a supporter of Obama, but with this group of people he is looking like he will get my vote.
